rising co2

From the Telegraph a story reported across much of the media this weekend about the possibility of a 6˚C rise in temperatures due to CO2 levels.
Louise Sime, lead of the British Antarctic Survey study, looked at ice cores to see how temperatures changed during periods of high carbon dioxide

She found that during the last period of high CO2, 125,000 years ago, temperatures were up to 6C higher than present day levels.
I'm pretty sure that was pre-industrialisation so what generated all the extra CO2? A natural cycle you say? Obviously I'm no expert at all but if the temperature was up by 6˚C at the last warm peak, and we are constantly being told that AGW is accelerating / amplifying warming, surely the prediction should be for even higher temperatures?

Ever shriller crap from the warmists though this was probably written before Climategate broke

That pic "Giant icebergs that broke off Antarctica were recently spotted off Australia", maybe so, but the iceberg has been floating around for a few years and there is nothing exceptional about it.
